The thread about boots and the walking dead got me thinking (and I have an obsession about zombies), what would be the best outfit for the apocalyse?

I'm thinking some really good combat boots. Cargo pants with lots of pockets so i can stash stuff. A leather jacket could provide good arm protection and when its gets a little chilling i will be warm. And I'm thinking of shaving my head. I wont have time to deep condition.

Would this be considered a spinoff thread?

The dogs turn into zombies as well. Obviously. As do any birds and animals that would eat roadkill.
The mall was fairly safe until people started doing dumb things, letting people in and out, and letting zombie babies be born and such.

You can't keep pets in a zombie apocalypse. They get bit, and you have to kill them like in I Am Legend, and It's too damn sad.

I can use a gun, bow, or knife. I can find edible plants, grow stuff, cook. And as I said before, I will always be the one to trek to the pharmacies and find drugs and such.

If my boyfriend survives, you all will want him on your team. He has lived in a cabin in the woods for much of the last 40 years. No furnace, erratic plumbing, and he managed to raise 3 kids there, mostly on his own. He knows all the good and bad plants in the woods. He has lots of guns and knives, can grow anything, he can hunt and fish and chop trees and he can make a fire out of nothing.

I think someone mentioned what Katniss wore in The Hunger Games movie. That's what I'd want to wear. Something form fitting, but not too tight and that would keep me warm enough, too. A windbreaker or better, a leather jacket. Good shoes. An extra pair of underwear.

Supplies?
Ace bandage or two
whatever food I can kill or loot along the way.
Maybe some canned something and dried fruits and meat like jerky
lots of water, don't want to drink any contaminated by bloated zombie that falls apart in it...
I need a car, so I can just drive through suspicious traffic snarls (28 days later, Zombieland, The Walking Dead, etc.).
Gas will be free, so no worries.
I'd like a partner. No kids or animals, because that would be sad.
Xanax or Valium
antibiotics
tylenol/analgesics
a hammock
a good blanket
a Klean Kanteen
matches
flashlight and batteries
a watch
a compass
a map

Weapon of choice: compound bow or crossbow and a knife of course, duh.
